great book finished it in 2 days and can't wait to buy the other books

This author is amazing each book kept you wanting more and now that I'm finished with the series. I'm honestly sad! I want more!!!

Story moved a little wonky here ans there but overall it was pretty amazing. The romance parts are what i enjoyed the most overall. The mystery aspect wasnt all that great.

Let me start by saying that I felt obligated to finish this book. I figured since I had already gone through all five novels I might as well finish the last. I didn’t know it was going to be so difficult. The first vampire academy book had me hooked from the start. It was a perfect blend of sass, action and romance. I really felt like there was a lot of potential in the plot, and there was enough material to keep expanding this universe. As I continued to read the novels I️ felt that the characters were dynamic and could see their change as the story progressed. That all came to a startling halt with the main character, Rose, in this last installment. She was the reason I found it so hard to continue. Whereas in the other books she was impulsive but logical, in this one she was just brash and uncaring about the consequences of her actions. In the past installments, when things didn’t go her way she found a way to understand and even except that not everything is controllable. In this installment, I felt like the maturity and wisdom she gained throughout the last five books suddenly vanished and we were left with a volatile selfish whiny immature 15-year-old. I found it so completely out of character from the Rose that I had been following all this time. I understand that for tthe stories sake she had to take certain actions. But I feel like her actions could have been portrayed in a way where she didn’t seem so annoying. I’m also a bit disappointed in Dimitri’s character and his development in this last book. I felt like he was much more involved, and we got to see more of him than in any other installment but in a different way than what we had seen or expected from him in the past. To be honest there were moments that I felt the story rushed and sloppy.
However my negative sentiments do not extend to other characters. Particularly, Adrian and Lisa’s characters matured a lot throughout this last book. I felt like their storylines gained some closure and ended in logical ways. I feel like I got to see sides of Adrian and Lissa That I had not seen before. I know that there is a spinoff series that has Adrian a bit more and I am curious to find out how the author wove that particular plotline.

Overall I’m just glad that I was able to finish the series, and while I’m not happy about some things, I do feel a sense of peace and closure. It ended and the most logical way possible.

loved it good book wish there was more in this book series next is bloodline

I loved the series along with the audiobook. I'm so very grateful that Richelle Mead created this fantasy world that I so dearly love and cherish.

I love this series of books. I'm so sad that they ended. I could follow Rose's life forever

This series is one of the best I've ever read. Her interpretation of the vampire myth and the twists she puts in her stories are great! Her sassy attitude keeps you entertained in this fast-moving and interesting story

Story is great, while reason I bought it. The readers voice was great for the American accents, but the Russian and other foreign accents should have made this a duo with a guy. Just a thought for future books.

I've read this series several times now and decided to get the audio version as well to listen while I work. I would definitely listen again. I thought that narration was really good, easy to listen to, not annoying (which is probably my number 1 hope for an audio book).

Overall the narrator did a great job, but I really dislike her version of Adrian. I'm considering getting the audio versions of the lily tattoo but I'm not sure I could handle a full book of Adrian.
